Some UP Team Pilots were already able to go full throttle at the beginning of May. Here is an overview of the best flights:
- 293km XC by Martin Bühler with MERU 2. This 10-hour-flight took him all the way through Wallis (Switzerland) and to France. He said: “I'm particularly happy to be flying the MERU 2 in challenging conditions. Despite its outstanding performance, it is still easy to control. This means that even towards the end of the flight, I am still fit and motivated to get the most out of the day."
- 265km FAI by Julian Lange with MERU 2. He said: "The crazy XC holidays didn't leave me unscathed either, and so on May 1, I was able to fly a 265 km FAI from Unternberg and land back home again."
- 221km XC by Stefan Bocks with MAKALU 5. He really rocked it with our new low-B glider!
